| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the impact of climate change on mountain agriculture and to propose practical adaptation measures. The study site was D-village, located in the Union Territory of Ladakh, northern India. Regarding D-village, we prepared detailed maps of agricultural fields, conducted interviews with farmers on agricultural management, made meteorological observations at different altitudinal locations, and analyzed historical cadastral data.
In D-village, socioeconomic factors have led to a reduction in traditional land use and the intensification of agriculture. Farmers are introducing commodity crops such as vegetables and fruits, which are adapted to a warmer climate, hence, global warming has encouraged these changes. Global warming might have been an essential factor in the current changes in mountain agriculture.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
気候変動は特に山地に大して大きな影響を及ぼすことが予測されているが，山地農業は非常に脆弱な環境条件の下で営まれているため，気候変動が山地農業に及ぼす影響を明らかにすることは喫緊の課題である。また，本研究は山地農業の特性も踏まえ，標高によって異なる環境に着目した「標高帯モデル」による分析をおこなっており，地域の独自性を考慮した考察が可能になっている。さらには，気候変動の把握だけではなく，農業経営の聞き取り調査や歴史的な地籍図の分析までを含む分野横断的な研究を実施しており，多くの要素が関係する地域の状況をより詳細に描写できている。
